The Benton family of Luyter City could be considered a wealthy aristocracy if we went back a few decades. The family has thousands of lords and private armies.
There are different opinions among the nobles of Ruit City as to how the Benton family's lord army disappeared. Some people say that old Benton disbanded the lord army on the spot after discovering that Lord McDonnell had the idea of defecting to the Green Empire.
, some people say that Lord MacDonnell collected this army.
The Benton family did not choose to join Lord McDonnell's rebel army. If they wanted to live under the eyes of Lord McDonnell in Ruit City, they could not have too many lords' troops.
This is how the Benton family survived the Battle of Talapagan by always maintaining a neutral stance.
If anyone thinks that the Benton family's heritage has been hollowed out, they are totally wrong.
This aristocratic family can last in the empire for hundreds of years, and there are bound to be some secrets hidden within the family.
The history of the Benton family can be traced back to the beginning of the creation of the Green Empire. The ancestor of the Benton family was a great swordsman in the first Duke Newman's constructed swordsman corps.
He was injured in the battle and returned home, and later settled in Ruyter City.
Hundreds of years have passed by in a flash. Although the Benton family has not produced extremely talented swordsmen in these years, there are people in every generation who can become constructed swordsmen, so the Benton family can continue.
…
The old servant who guards the Benton family cemetery is not a reclusive expert.
He is just a manservant who is brave enough to live in the cemetery. He lives in the cemetery because there is basically no work required here. It is far more comfortable than in the manor. The time is basically in his own hands and he lives more casually.
More sexual.
In order to avoid making mistakes, these gravediggers also arranged a comfort circle around the cemetery guard's cabin. Although this circle is not like those magic barriers that can isolate all sounds, light and shadow outside the barrier, it can be a strong sleep aid.
The effect means that if someone is affected by the soothing circle at night, they will soon fall asleep.
This group of tomb robbers never thought that although they put the tombkeeper into a deep sleep, they tried to steal the coffin without anyone noticing.
But it happened that a native dog accompanying the gravekeeper to guard the cemetery discovered them, and then started barking in front of the gravekeeper's house.
Originally, the tomb robbers wanted to sneak into the tomb keeper's house and stab the old servant to death, but the first thing the tomb keeper did when he walked out of the room was to release a magic flare into the night sky. These grave diggers
The person fled the cemetery in a hurry.
The knight guards of the Benton family who arrived later found that Earl Benton's body had been stolen and immediately reported it to Minister Allen Benton.
This news also reached the ears of Gary Decker before dawn.
Gary Decker originally wanted to handle it personally, but thinking that Surdak attached great importance to the undead warlock last night, he personally ran to Ruyter Castle and reported the news to Surdak.
…
After hearing Gary Decker recount the details of last night, Suldak sat on the sofa and took a cup of milk tea brought by the maid.
He said to Gary Decker: "I guess you haven't had breakfast yet. Why don't you just eat some with me?"
"OK!"
In the restaurant, the maid brought warm white towels.
Gary Decker sat on a chair, wiped his face with a towel, and then wiped his hands. Then he imitated Suldak's movements, tore up a piece of wheat cake and put it into a large bowl.
Leigh Decker was a little confused, and then the maid brought a large basin of hot broth and placed it on the table.
Seeing Suldak's signal, he poured the hot milky white broth on top, and cooked the minced meat until it piled up on the scones. Suldak also added a touch of fine salt to his bowl.
Then he held a huge soup bowl and used a silver spoon to put the soup cake into his mouth.
Gary Decker was not as picky as Samira, so he followed Suldak and ate a big bowl.
Thea walked in from outside and said to Suldak: "The magic caravan is ready."
When Suldak saw that Gary Decker had finished eating, he stood up and said, "Then let's go out of the city to visit the cemetery!"
When he walked to the door of the restaurant, he turned to Gary Decker and asked, "Is Samira back?"
"Not yet..." Gary Decker replied.
Surdak told Siya: "Send someone to Mukusuo to call Edgar over, and ask him to come to the Luyite City Guard Camp immediately to organize daily work. His one-day vacation is over."
Thea immediately ran out quickly again.
Gary Decker said unnaturally: "Sorry, boss, I didn't manage the guard camp well."
Seeing that Gary Decker looked a little depressed, Suldak put his hand on the shoulder of the tall female warrior and said to her with a smile:
"What does this have to do with you? I just feel that this matter may not be as simple as it appears. Next, you and Samira will investigate this matter. If necessary, you can call Gulitem over at any time."
After saying that the two of them had already walked down the steps of the castle, Suldak took the lead in boarding the magic caravan and ordered the coachman:
"Let's go to the Benton family cemetery first."
The coachman waved his whip and made the magic caravan circle around the pool in the front courtyard before heading towards the gate.
Just when the carriage was about to leave the courtyard, Siya hurriedly caught up from behind. When she ran, she stepped on a wave of waves with every step, as if something under her feet was holding her forward.
This is the water magic of the Janna tribe, "Walking on the Waves", and Siya uses it very skillfully.
When Thea got into the carriage of the magic caravan, the coachman raised his whip again and urged the two ancient Bolan horses forward.
…
In the early morning of Ruit City, there were very few magic caravans on the streets. Surdak's magic caravan sped all the way out of the city and headed north to the cemetery in the southern part of the Benton family's territory.
At this moment, there were actually thousands of lords' private troops gathered around the foot of the cemetery mountain, and these lords' soldiers were eating breakfast.
Suldak saw Alan Benton from a distance, leaning on the steps to rest with a tired look on his face. He stepped off the magic caravan and came to Alan Benton. At this time, he was next to Earl Alan Benton.
His cronies pushed him awake and reminded him in his ear: "Sir, the Consul of Suldak and the Chief of Guards, Mr. Gary Decker, are here."
Alan Benton suddenly woke up, his eyes were full of red bloodshot eyes, full of exhaustion and anxiety.
Suldak immediately walked up, reached out and patted his arm, comforting him: "Don't worry, I will keep an eye on this matter personally this time, and I will definitely get to the bottom of it..."
Earl Allen Benton looked grateful.
"Have your people found any clues?" Suldak asked Alan Benton.
